Taken inside Chōjugura--the Shirayuki Brewery Village, in Itami.
Itami, on the outskirts of Osaka, may not conjure up much more than thoughts of the town that is home to the domestic airport serving the Kansai region and nothing more. However, it was not always this way. Itami was the birthplace of refined sake- the kind of sake we know and that many of us drink today. Let me explain. Sake wasn’t always clear. If used to be yellowish in color and contained particulates left over from the brewing process. But it was a resident of Itami that figured out how to make clear, refined sake around 1600 and began to export vast quantities of this new and popular form of sake to Edo (present day Tokyo). From 1600 through the second half of the 18th century, nearly 10 to 20% of all the sake swilled in Edo was from Itami. And Edoites swilled a lot of sake. To satisfy this demand, there were more than 80 brewers in Itami selling more than 200 brands of sake. Today, only two brewers remain.
Known as the "Queen of the Painted Churches" on the Painted Churches of Texas tour, St. Mary's is grand and elaborate with intricately detailed paintings, a large host of statuary and glittering stained-glass windows. "The Germans have very ornate stained-glass windows, so there is more of a somber, majestic effect," says guide Dianna Zimmerman. A gold web connects the high ceiling centerline to interior columns, with fine scrollwork in between.

"The Portico Library (or Portico Library and Gallery) on Mosley Street, Manchester, is a subscription library designed in the Greek Revival style between 1802 and 1806 by Thomas Harrison of Chester. It was designated a Grade II* listed building on 25 February 1952 and been described as "the most refined little building in Manchester".
The library was established as a result of a meeting of Manchester businessmen in 1802 which resolved to found an "institute uniting the advantages of a newsroom and a library". A visit by four of those men to the Athenaeum in Liverpool inspired them to achieve a similar institution in Manchester. Money was raised through members' subscriptions and the library opened in 1806.
The library, mainly focused on 19th century literature, was designed by Thomas Harrison, architect of Liverpool's Lyceum and built by one of the founders, David Bellhouse. One of the secretaries was Peter Mark Roget who began his famous Thesaurus here.
Today, the building accommodates an exhibition space and the ground floor is tenanted by The Bank public house which takes its name from the Bank of Athens which leased the property in 1921, while the library remains upstairs with its entrance on Charlotte Street." Wikipedia

Eine Bücherei im zweiten Stock über einem Club hätte ich nicht einfach so gefunden. Und niemals hätte ich erwartet, dass sie so hübsch ist.
Eigentlich war sie zu dem Zeitpunkt meines Besuchs gerade geschlossen, aber ich durfte trotzdem rein und sogar Fotos machen. Sehr nette Damen dort! (Sie haben auch eine eigene Homepage, aber die ist auf Englisch.)

The ceiling of clouds that rolled over the valley earlier in the day was still covering most of the sky at sunset.

While at Photokina I took the chance to visit the cathedra. I love the ceilings and the stained glass. I very rarely do HDR but to get the detail in the ceiling and the windows I needed too bracket my exposure and bring them together in post.
